Harriet Bethell is a shrewd placer of horses and Miami Present, who jumps well, has already won three times since August. Petite Power made a promising reappearance at Cheltenham while Aunty Ann improved again to win at Worcester. Cernunnos is capable if on a going day and After Hours is better than he showed when favourite at Wetherby last month. THE HAPPY CHAPPY lacks a bit of experience but seems a genuine sort who stays well. He's been raised 5lb for winning a four-runner race at Sedgefield but may have more to come.
